From deep within..
As always I have loads of things that I would like to pour out and as always I don’t know where to begin.
Nearing the end of college I hear people talking about how time flew by, but for me everything has been like a slow moving marquee. It seemed forever when it was bad and it seemed forever when it was good. Because the bad was too bad to bear and the good was good enough to last forever.

Hitting the bottom and bouncing back takes a lot of everything; and a few great friends. FRIENDS- friends who stand by you when you fall, friends who support you when it matters most. In such times comes out the true meaning of companionship. When loneliness hits you worst, comes an understanding hand, a caring friend and a wonderful listener.
After many light years you dare to dream, once again you notice the colour in flowers and once again you hear the music in rain.To know that there are people who have not deserted you, to know that you are still wanted...to know that you have a buddy-the greatest ever. It is Fantastic : )
Only those know the joy of paradise regained who have seen the paradise lost. Things look sunny, everybody is fine. Just perfect. But perfection never lasts long.

INSPIRING ENTERTAINMENT
The Great Indian Film Factory churns out more movies in a year than any other film fraternity in the world.With the advent of multiplexes, movie going has made an impressive come back. As the business experts put it multiplexes are also by and large dictating the genre of the movies being produced today. The urban India is demanding for slick flicks.

Lage raho Munna Bhai and Rang De Basanti both are almost tailormade for a wholesome entertainment.Rang de Basanti reflects the college going urban youth of today- initially as ignorant and then awakened.The awakened youth is surely a treasure uncovered for any nation, but are movies truly a medium suited to bring about a revolution?
Lage raho Munna Bhai may have done a noble job of reminding us of the 'Bapu's' ideas but how many of us are actually convinced by the philosphy behind them.Practicality is what make these movies entertainers and not inspirations.
Three hours of value for money is what the average middle class movie goer is looking for ,not lessons on life.Romance, action, drama, comedy and a dash of nationalism thrown in, it only makes a superhit movie not an impact on the society.

Being ME !

Not very sure of what should be my first blog, I assume an introduction would be fine So here I am !
R.E.B.E.L- this five letter word describes every aspect of me. At some points I may not totally justify its dictionary meaning but more often that not a Rebel is what I am classified as.
Of course its not a comfortable zone to be in but it surely assures that I get my options.

Being a REBEL I get a chance to speak up in situations where it would be heresy to do so by 'Law abiding' citizens :)
It gives me a space which most people vouch for. I have my sphere in which people are not invited and they know tresspassers would be executed :)
My grandfather was a freedom fighter I have it in my blood to be heard.
However my Dad's of the philosphy that the frontrunners are the ones who suffer the gravest consequences, but it doesn't deter me from being on the edge.
I do not deny hurt feelings because of this attitude; but what the heck?
If you are not living on the edge, you are wasting too much space :)
don't you agree??
